INSTALLING AN OPTION CARD
Caution: The option and main circuit cards contain static sensitive
components. Before handling the cards, discharge static charges
from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Ideally,
handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation. Also,
handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil or other contaminants
that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit operation.
Warning: Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards. Remove
all power to the meter AND load circuits before accessing the unit.
1. Remove the main assembly from the rear of the case. Squeeze the finger
holds on the rear cover, or use a small screwdriver to depress the side
latches to release it from the case. It is not necessary to separate the rear
cover from the main circuit card.
2. Locate the option card connector for the type of option card to be installed.
Hold the unit by the rear connector, not the display board, when installing
an option card.
3. Install the option card by aligning the option card connector with the slot
bay in the rear cover. The cards are keyed by position with different main
board connector locations. Be sure the connector is fully engaged and the
tab on the option card rests in the alignment slot on the display board.
4. Slide the assembly back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully
into the case.
5. Apply the option card label to the bottom side of the meter. Do not cover
the vents on the top surface of the meter. The surface of the case must be
clean for the label to adhere properly. Apply the label to the area designated
by the large case label.
